Using a mobile phone while driving can increase the chances of being in a crash by up to four times.

Yet people still admit to doing them

Putting drink driving in perspective, 99.7% of drivers and riders tested aren’t over their legal BAC limit; however almost one in five (19%) drivers and riders killed in the past five years had a BAC greater than 0.05.

According to the TAC Road Safety Monitor, most licence holders either don't use a phone while driving (42%) or only use their phone hands free (41%). However, one in six (16%) licence holders still use a mobile phone without hands free while driving. In the same survey, 9% of people said they regularly drove while drowsy.

Close to half (47%) of all drivers drive above the speed limit at least some of the time regardless of the speed limit, yet evidence shows that if everyone reduced their travel speed by 5 km/h, up to 95 lives could be saved and 1300 serious injuries prevented in one year in Victoria.
